Our other cars

[P.Griffin]

One in the front and one in the back (ohh err misses)....Aston and Porsche are my soft spots. Had numerous Beemers but really struggling to find any love for my turbo-ed M2 which will be on it's way out soon. Range/Land Rover as far as everyday stuff goes.

Haven't had mine too long although I reckon I'll be keeping it.
Only 30k miles with a heavily breathed on motor but completely std in appearance.
The turbo lag is quite hilarious

Mine ended up at 380hp although I'd say it was best at 300hp. We tried many bespoke parts on it, diffs, brakes, dampers, control arms, front and rear hubs, the list goes on, ultimately there was very little left of the original car...lol
I've got a lot of good contacts associated with all things RS so if you need any help/advice in the future please drop me a line on here, hope you enjoy the car as much as I did...

Thanks will do!
Btw, previously this belonged to Carl Balmforth ( owner of Dreamscience ) - knows his stuff apparently.

Averaging down the number of cylinders in the family. DB9 + Family transporter. And its only .2sec slower to 100km/hr, although it goes best in a straight line.

At first glance - DBX.

At second glance - I give up. (generic SUV perhaps).

SUV from the most valuable US car company.

I've been tempted but the range is still an issue for me (and the drop in performance at low charge). Settled for a plug-in hybrid Cayenne instead.

Not for me i'm afraid, although I can see some sort of appeal for others.

Was in the pub garden the weekend before last and there was a Tesla meet. Honestly, all they were talking about was how easy it was to connect their phones to the car, battery life and charging times.......oh and the "best" charging stations. Like a pissing contest of who could talk the most st.

I must have been like the anti-Christ turning up in a V12 with an oil tanker behind me

Most valuable - Yes that is really remarkable.

I hope it works out well for them, but of course for a loss making company with an enormous market value, it does make us think back to 1998/99/00.

I refused to buy any of those dotcommers at the time, because it would have been almost impossible pick one of the few eventual winners, from the very large number of overpriced hopefuls, most of which went bust.
In hindsight, very shrewd.

Well off topic now but indeed I went into TSLA when they were building the Gigafactory. Unlike the dot-coms they have a real product(s).

I think the markets view GM and Ford as incapable of managing the switch to EV's (like Nokia and smartphones) and are betting that Tesla can move quicker. Even though they have not turned a profit, they now have enough cash for 2017-2018. The Model 3 launch will be a real test for their ability to scale. Will they, in fact, be like Apple in 2007 with the iPhone?

Sold my other "British" car yesterday 6 years of ownership, 4th Lotus and I will get another. Needed to free up some cash so hopefully picking up a silly quick track toy to see me through until I can justify another Lotus....





Then we've got the Evoque....





Then the family camper...sleeps 4! And two dogs

Here are mine...

Never sell your Lotus, you will always want another.

I never learnt this lesson and am currently on number 6.

Odd, it only showed the first photo, I'll try again...

There is a separate thread on DBS values, DBS vs Vanquish, etc. There is just something inherently 'right' about black and dark grey DBS, as your photo illustrates. I think that point becomes more and more clear with each passing year

[bluecab]

The RR Sport in the background has been the wife's daily for 10 years.The white thing reflected in the door of the DB9 is a GMC Suburban, my work truck, much too nasty to actually post a photo of.
